A Little Bit of A Lot of Catching Up
I know it has been so long since I posted and I know there are many cute moments and pictures that I wish I would have put on here but I will just catch you up on the last month!
Happy Cinco De Mayo! Chris and I made this cake for the fire deparments Cinco De Mayo party it was lots of fun and the cake was a learning experience!
That is right Carter is now potty trained! If you look close you'll notice that he is just like his dad. The hunting regulations are his favorite bathroom material. He has now moved up from the little training potty to a normal toilet which is so much nicer! Our next goal is to teach him how to go by himself so that I don't have to take so many trips to the bathroom!
Presenting my litttle old man. Isn't this a funny picture! He really looks cute in his new suit but I just need him to hold still long enough to show his potential!
Last weekend we attempted our first fishing trip of the season. We heard that palisades was really low so we threw in a cooler and a grill and our fishing stuff and rushed up there. We got to Pallisades at about seven o'clock only to find that it was still completly frozen! We made the best of it and attempted to fish below the damn but the water was too high for our skills. The good news is that even though we didn't catch anything and we were almost completely frozen, we ate some really good elk burgers:) That was my favorite part!
This is just a sample of Carters new stage. He loves to dress up in hats, gloves, and coats. He also now has an opinion about what pants he should be wearing. So if you ever catch him at home he usually looks pretty funny.

2010 HAPPENINGS
CHRIS'S 2010 HAPPENINGS
Chris has been very busy this year as always! He's been cruising right along through his schooling and now only has four classes left! Hurray!!!!!! After he graduates he'll be applying to a nursing program to get a second bachelors in nursing. Not only has he been busy being and exceptional student but he has also been working as a medical supervisor at the plasma center and a volunteer firefighter/EMT for Jefferson county. On top of that he has been having fun with all his many hobbies (his hobby list grows every year!) One of those hobbies is hunting and he did very well this year. Chris was able to get a deer with his bow and an elk with his rifle! Even though I feel like we have been cutting up meat for the past four months(cause we have) I am grateful to have two freezers full of meat! Above all these wonderful achievement Chris has an even greater achievement that I must mention and that is being an amazing dad and wonderful good looking husband! Carter and I just love it when his is home! He seems to know exactly what to do to make us all happy.
BECKY'S 2010 HAPPENINGS
As for me I have been busy enjoying life! I have a calling as the second counselor in the young woman's and I love it! I also have been working about two to twelve hours a week as a medical assistant at the local doctors office to try and keep up my medical skills. I have also worked at a few health screenings around Utah. I really love working as a medical assistant and as a health screener, but not as much as I love being a mom. Working has really helped me realize how many important things I do and how much Carter needs me and I need him. So I was able to work it out so that I only work as a fill in. That way I can still keep up my medical knowledge but I only have to leave Carter here and there instead of two days a week. I absolutely love being a wife and mom nothing is more satisfying. Each day is a great adventure! I would like to mention one other achievement this year. As many of you know I have never been able to drive a standard....well last year we bought a standard car and after a long frustrating year I think I can finally say that I am a good standard driver!
CARTER'S 2010 HAPPENINGS
Out all of us Carter has been the busiest this past year! He has been busy growing up! He has gone from baby to boy. In the last year Carter has learned to walk, climb everything, take everything apart, sleep in a bed, put his shoes on, eat real food and feed himself, throw fits, say at least forty words and understand most of what we say, he has also learned that sugar is the most important food group, that saying please will get you almost anything you want, he knows what most of the animals are including deer, elk, and fish ( elk is his favorite animal) and he has learned that if you look at the grocery store lady with puppy eyes she will give you smarties. I just can't believe how much he has grown this past year! Carter is so much fun. He really does spoil us by being so easy going and so cute. Some of the things Carter loves are: playing outside, riding the four wheeler, playing with his cars, emptying my kitchen drawers, hiding from me ( he will shut himself in a dark closet and wait for over fifteen minutes for me to find him), splashing in puddles, shooting bugs with rubber bands and helping his mom.
It's always fun to write the annual Christmas letter. It's a great opportunity to be able to look back on the adventures, trials, and wonderful blessings that each year brings. If I were to give this year a main theme it would be family. This year seemed to be full of so many opportunities to gather with all our family. Through family reunions, big family events, welcoming in new family members and saying good bye to loved ones we have had many wonderful opportunities to grow closer to our ever growing family. I think that has been the greatest gift that this year has brought us. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit this season brings as we celebrate his birth. Thank you all for your love and support. Each of you have touched our life in your own special way! love, The Tanners
